According to the AP, “The day for prayer and fasting is planned for Aug. 6 (at Reliant Stadium) and is sponsored by the American Family Association, a Christian advocacy group. The organization’s website says the event is intended to be a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer service.”

Some believe this is exactly what our country needs — a greater focus on God to deal with our earthly problems.
